Incredible ANTIQUE Wood SCHOONER WEATHERVANE Ship Model Pond Yacht Boat 43"x 27"

Description

antique wooden boat, as shown. came from a coastal Duxbury Massachusetts estate with a model ship collection spanning over a century.  This piece is barn fresh... the normal process to clean something like this was tricky: every time we applied mineral oil to wipe the thick layer of dust, the wood soaked it in immediately!
Please see images for current condition and patina from age.  the front sails are left off of weathervane models to keep all wind behind the point of rotation.  If you look at other examples of wooden ship weathervanes, this is common. It's assumed this was a backyard weathervane, likely early 20th century, 1920s area.  If you're simply displaying it, a new wooden sail would likely be easy to make... but personally i love how it shows the purpose of the piece.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have!  Really a unique item, draws a lot of admiration.
